Wilfrid Sellars

    20 maggio 1912 – 2 luglio 1989

    Wilfrid Sellars è stato un filosofo americano rinomato per la sua critica all'epistemologia fondazionalista. Il suo obiettivo principale era conciliare i modi intuitivi di comprendere il mondo con una descrizione scientifica e naturalistica della realtà. Sellars sintetizzò magistralmente elementi del pragmatismo americano, della filosofia analitica britannica e americana e del positivismo logico con la tradizione tedesca dell'idealismo trascendentale. Il suo lavoro è apprezzato per la sua sofisticata argomentazione e la ricerca di una visione sinottica.
